no, actually the fumikomi its to give more power to the cuts as you can see Yagahi Sensei use his body to make a deeper cut to the body, the sword goes first and then the body.

The last cut he did was quite impressive. I have a question for any Ryushin Jugen Ryu practitioners. I practice Sei-too Ryu Kenjutsu which is basically an offshoot of musashi's original style. We do stops as well, but more for stepping on the opponent's feet or kicking knees, etc. Is that what the stops are for in this style as well, or is it more a distraction? Just curious :)

Well all I could say about it, is that in Shorinji Kempo 'Goho' is the hard (punching and kicking) side of the syllabus, but then again we have nothing to do with iai so I don't understand the meaning or context of it here either.

Our Dojo is one of three dojos in the United States that teaches Ryushin (Tenshinsho) Jigen Ryu. Soke Yahagi Sensei was in Miami last week. Awesome is the only way to describe it. His combines a perfect mastery with the sword with a great skill at being able to teach and explain techniques. It was a great experience.

What do you mean by "Goho styles of Iai"? Like five-directions? Just curious.

Hmmm...well truthfully I'm not a jigen-ryu fan to begin with as I do not like goho styles of iai. I feel like it draws away from the elegance, not to mention the speed, of both the draw and the noto alike. But I definitely liked the tameshirigiri at the end! Holy cow! Now THAT'S precision!

You mean in Satsuma, right? I thought the Shinsengumi style was the one used against the Meiji.

this is what I would considered as a true professional. Demonstrates the Budo spirit with his eye, body and movement. Gives me inspiration to work harder...

This is Jigen-Ryu most powerful style of Kenjutsu. In my opinion. Used to defeat early Meji army.
